Chapter 2251 - Gold Sunflower Swordgoddess
"Lin Feng must be nearby! It must be running back to him!" Lin Linglin said.
"Give chase!" Lin Jianxing held her hand and the two of them zipped away like starlight, breaking the sound barrier.
"So they've started chasing me." Meow Meow saw two figures glaring at it. It was an expert at running away, and it felt pumped by the whole situation. Genesis Bolts and Chaos Fiendbolts formed two vortices on its body that helped it accelerate at a blindingly fast rate. It yelled in glee as it whooshed past great distances!
All the while, it could still fire countless abilities like Misty Hellthunder and Cosmic Lance, forming dense webs of electricity behind it. Within the cramped caverns, its abilities were really effective at slowing its pursuers down.
Lin Jianxing furrowed his brows. "Careful!"
"I'm fine, Brother Jianxing."
The two of them weathered the storm of electricity, slashing away at the bolts as best they could. However, being blasted by so much electricity still didn't feel good, and it definitely hampered them! Lin Jianxing grew a little anxious at the sight of Meow Meow widening the distance. The more he wanted to teach Tianming a lesson, the more effort he would give.
"Brother Jianxing, you go on ahead! I'll catch up," Lin Linglin said. She knew that he would be held back if he continued helping her along. This cat was unreasonably fast!
"No need. Just wait here for me. I'll come right back for you once I get him."
"Okay." Lin Linglin nodded. It would be a little risky if she tried to keep up, as it would be easy for her to get lost. It would be better for her to wait where he knew she was. She immediately stopped, showing her trust in Lin Jianxing.
Tianming saw everything from not too far away, in complete control of how things were going.
"Lin Jianxing’s speeding up! Careful, Meow Meow!" he informed the cat through Yin Chen. As long as Meow Meow lured Lin Jianxing a little further and bought a little more time, Tianming would be able to deal with Lin Linglin. He would have to be fast to ensure Meow Meow's safety.
Gigantic sound waves shook in the distance. Lin Jianxing was attacking as he gave chase. He was much faster after leaving Lin Linglin behind. "You're just a normal divine beast. Where do you think you can hide?" He smirked and sped up, surfing on his flying sword.
"Oh damn, he's almost as fast as me now." Meow Meow felt a lot of pressure, even more than what Lin Lele had given it. Right then, formless starlight shot toward Meow Meow, suppressing it! It was the power of order, and Lin Jianxing had way more of it than Lin Lele.
Tianming had taken that into account, of course. The order quickly interfered with Meow Meow's speed and abilities. But fortunately, the cat had its own order it could use to resist. While it wasn't on the same level, Meow Meow's unique genesis order was qualitatively better. It wasn't able to completely suppress Lin Jianxing, but it could surround itself with multiple strands of order to resist Lin Jianxing's order, allowing it to speed up once more!
"You can't escape, foul beast!" Lin Jianxing's sword ki surged, causing magma to form beside Meow Meow that pushed its lightning blasts back.
"Cat Bro... Boss asks... if you're... doing fine," asked a silver butterfly that clung to Meow Meow's fur as the wind caused it to sway wildly.
"Meowmeowmeowmeow!" It was under so much pressure that it couldn't even look back! It felt like Lin Jianxing was right behind it, so Meow Meow could only try to make a desperate run for it.
"Cat Bro... Boss said... to go.. in Sis... Lele's direction!"
Lin Jianxing's capabilities were right on Tianming's estimations, but to be safe, he still chose to entrust Lin Lele with Meow Meow. He had to settle things with Lin Linglin as soon as possible to help Meow Meow out of this dangerous predicament.
"Don't worry, Brother Feng, leave it to your big sis!" Lin Lele yelled from afar. Tianming was quite relieved to hear it.
Quickly taking down Lin Linglin would be difficult, and Tianming wasn't as fast as Lin Jianxing so he would only have one chance. When Lin Jianxing was a bit farther away, he made his move! "Now, attack!"
The ambush had been laid for quite a while, and it sprung all at once. Lin Linglin had just gone to a corner to wait for Lin Jianxing to return, only for the wall behind her to fall apart as a stream of silver and a gigantic two-headed dragon came bursting through! At the same time, roots, vines, and petals shot out from the ground. From the sea of Ghoulface Fiendblossoms sprung a person and a bird! Tianming had used everything he had, save for his decapath era godswords. He couldn’t even hesitate, as the two of them were seven levels apart! As for his lifebound beasts, they all used their orders and were also fueled by Ji Ji.
"Lin Feng!" She recognized him with a single glance, but just as she backed off, five lifebound beasts blocked her way! She quickly took out a Golden transmission stone and said, "Brother Jianxing, Lin Feng’s here! He ambushed me! I was the target!"
She hoped that Lin Jianxing would quickly return, though upon further thought, she found it rather funny. As far as she was aware, Tianming was only as powerful as Lin Xiuzhu, who was three levels beneath her. I'm just worried that Lin Lele's nearby, that's all.
There was no other explanation she could think of for Tianming's reckless plan. Having sent word, she reasoned that she would be fine for the time being. Lin Jianxing would probably be making his way back to her, so Tianming didn't have much time at all!
Tianming watched as her six swordbeasts manifested. "As expected of the Gold Sunflower Line!"
The ninth branch was also known as the Gold Sunflower Line, as most of their members used a combination of Gold and plant aspects that were seemingly incompatible. That applied to Lin Linglin and Lin Lingxiao, too. She was still young and had a few more chances to raise her rank in the minor reges ranking, and this was her debut fight. Her goal was to achieve results comparable to her elder brother's at the very least. In other words, she was more talented than Lin Xiuzhu.
Lin Xiuzhu's swordbeasts were all bamboo swordkings, while Lin Linglin had six different lifebound beasts and a grade-six swordheart. She had an even brighter future than Lin Jianxing!
Since Tianming had launched the ambush, her golden eyes had betrayed no fear. Despite the sudden attack, she drew a refined golden sword and attacked after her lifebound beasts blocked the first wave of Tianming's attacks, then she turned into a beam of gold light and shot toward him!
"I can take care of you myself if you're alone," rang her cool voice across the battlefield, and she wasn't mistaken to think that, provided her assumptions were right! Her swordbeasts looked all too imposing. She looked like a gold sunflower goddess, surrounded by mighty sentinels that were all myriadstar beasts.
The terrestrial beast was a sunflower swordscale lion. Instead of fur, it boasted scales shaped like golden sunflowers, making it both imposing and grandiose. The avian-type goldblade meteor peng was a great golden bird with three pairs of wings with blade-like feathers. Its agile mobility allowed it to unleash flurries of cuts. Then there was the marine-type goldlance fiendshark that had golden scales and a sharp golden horn at its head that served as a lance. There were also countless golden teeth within its gigantic mouth.
On top of that, she had a rock-type goldhill titan, which resembled a giant covered in impenetrable metal armor and countless horns. It was the one that had taken the brunt of Lan Huang's charge! She also had a ninesun toxiforge centipede, which was a nine-linked centipede with a carapace that shone like nine crimson suns. Its countless legs were covered in golden hooks. Lastly, she had a plant-type beast: the heavenly sunflower. Its petals were like golden discs of unrivaled sharpness.
Compared to her six glamorous golden beasts, Tianming's looked outright laughable. He was made a laughingstock for treating Lin Linglin like a small fry! In the eyes of those of the ninth branch, she would be more accomplished than her brother in the future!
